Mina, POJOs and Spring

[Michael Bauroth]

Hi,

I learned the last weeks a lot about new technologies relating server 
technologies and Mina. In this context I have a short question about a 
technology feature in Mina itself.

In one of your documentations you describe the function of the filter 
chain, ProtocolDecoders and the possibility of generating POJOs in this 
context. I didn't knew POJOs before ... now I've learned, that it is one 
of the master pieces in the Spring framework. Here is my question: How 
can these messages (POJOs) be used in Spring? I have no idea at the 
moment. What is the advantage to generate messages in this style behind 
the possibility of e.g. serialization?

It would be nice if someone could explain a little bit more some of 
their use cases (maybe with a sample?)

Best Regards
Michael
